Dan Sullivan was declared the winner of Alaska’s senate seat earlier this week. He has nearly a 9,000 vote lead. But that doesn’t matter to Begich or Alaska Democrats. Begich refuses to concede, who only won in 2008 because of bogus charges against then Republican senator Ted Stevens. Apparently, Mark Begich thinks he can Al Franken the election, with more ballots to be counted tomorrow. The mathematical chances of Begich catching Sullivan are slim to none, but Democrats like Begich have no honor anyway.

Democratic Sen. Mark Begich still won’t concede the Alaska Senate race, even after the Associated Press called it for Republican challenger Dan Sullivan.
Sullivan was declared the winner of the hard-fought contest early Wednesday, nearly a week after the midterm elections. The victory gives the GOP eight Senate pickups, increasing their majority next year to 53 seats – with just one race, in Louisiana, outstanding.
But Begich won’t throw in the towel.
His campaign manager reiterated what the campaign has been saying since election night last week — that Alaskans deserve to have every vote counted. More ballots will be counted starting Friday.
